Info on Statesman 240 silverdrive wood lathe for sale…

[Deleted member 440]

Hi everyone,
I have the above wood turning lathe plus some associated tools (chisels and band saw),which belong to my father In law,who has now sadly gone onto a retirement home,and this equipment needs to be sold.
I have asked if this request is ok to post on this forum,do please remove if not acceptable.
I am unfamiliar on value or desirability of this unit.
Located Nottinghamshire area.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who might be interested in this or these items.
Many thanks.
Simon.

hi @Torchyboy123 Do you know the motor HP or what the unit plugs into? Is it standard household 240V or something else? I can't see it clearly in the pic.
also, how are the bearings and the speed control? does it run smoothly? I'm curious about the condition

Hi,
Many thanks for your message,
I do know that it runs off 240v,via standard wall plug.
As for the bearings and speed control,I would need to investigate, and you may have more knowledge on a way to test this more me.
I can go and plug it in,run it and send you a video etc,if this might help?.
I have to say, whilst not clueless on this, I 'm no expert,but will certainly find out.
I know it has run,for maybe the last four years,but was certainly looked after when it was in use.
All the best.
Simon.

Hi j0eman,
Further to my last message,Disaster!!.
I just popped round to fire up the lathe,only to find that the controller is missing,have hunted through the whole workshop, I now have to try contacting the manufacturer and source another unit.
My apologies for this,if you are still interested I can contact you,when I have it up and running.
Kind regards.
Simon Hook.
